I have created.
There are shapes I have not discovered, light I have not played in, emotions I have not felt, there is shadow and darkness to walk through, there are billions of colours to feel, there is space to grow into, I have people to meet, and my heart is beating to experience this life.
This creativity is inside me; this life force is asking for my attention, to bring it to the light and to understand I have all I need. Everything that catches my attention is reflecting to me what is in my heart, this is how creativity gets my attention;
BUT to understand it is already in me, and it is asking me to REMEMBER.
When I seek outside of myself, I lose direction. When I understand creativity, love, joy, abundance comes from my heart I am in flow.
I have a life, ONE life.
It is a miracle to be in the world at this moment in history, in the home I live in, with the people who are family and friends, the experiences in the life I have.
The thrill of life beats every moment, I do not want to live in the comfort of what I already know, I am curious in walking towards what is calling me. I will not wake in the night with palpitations of regret, fear, what-ifs. I will lead with an open, soft heart and joy radiating from the center of my chest – I am here to learn in my one life.
I will dance with the passionate fire in me that tells me to use my voice, to share what I am here to explore and discover, to experience what my heart needs in this one life. I will not betray the sacred mystery of my heart. To be in devotion to the workings of the heart is to dance with grief and generosity, to embody faith and love, to see ugliness and beauty, scarcity, and abundance. I chose to be in this life, it is my responsibility to experience it.
I will direct my energy to things I have a future with by choosing to follow my heart and my gut, curiosity, love and faith, the vision of my life will come into existence. My life and it’s facets, are how I create them. How I create it is by remembering who I am in this life.

In this episode, Chloe and Melinda challenge the conventional notions surrounding creativity, paying attention not only to external influences but also to the internal dynamics of their creative practice. By exploring the depths of attention and encouraging a release of judgment. This episode is a testament to intentional focus and the liberating experience of letting go of preconceived notions about how creativity should unfold. Tune in to this insightful conversation on YouTube and Spotify, and discover how paying attention, both to the external world and our internal processes, can be a transformative journey towards unlocking the full potential of your creative endeavors.
I mentioned last week I have been brainstorming and creating new offers for 2024.
In my planning journal for the start of 2024 is the re-introduction of
Pen pal mentoring - with a few significant changes. ( This is one of my favourite offers in my business because as a young girl I ALWAYS wanted a pen pal and now I get to create a space in my business to have as many as I want).
1:1 Clarity mentoring - This is the space where 3 women spent 1 year with me each week and or fortnight, creating the business they want. ( Keep in mind the minimum is 3 months and these amazing women kept signing up, to work on their business. Definitely one of my proudest achievements this year).
All in one - THIS BRAND NEW - It will include one hour per week of mentoring, pen pal mentoring in between sessions AND VA assistance.
A 6 week group program for 6 women starting in January - this is SO SO EXCITING FOR ME to offer this. The program is called CLARITY and the foundation is something I am PASSIONATE about. Knowing WHO you are in your business, understanding YOUR BUSINESS IS HOW YOUR CREATE IT and SHOWING UP FOR YOURSELF. There is 6 topics we will work through TOGETHER. There are 3 levels of entry.
Live seat + accountability -This is a live seat and you email me during the week with what you are working on for accountability.
Live seat - Live seat on the Zoom calls.
Silent seat - Recordings will be sent within 24 hours of live calls.
My photography offers are for showing lots of love to women in business.
I am a passionate for capturing the essence and the strength of women in business, I believe in illuminating the often overlooked roles these women play in society. I want to study through photos the multifaceted journey of mothers and women shaping businesses. I see women as the ultimate creators, and I hope my photography serves as a powerful tribute to women’s resilience, beauty and contributions. By freezing moments that reflect the daily challenges and triumphs of women, I will highlight their presence and offer a poignant acknowledgment of their importance in the intricate tapestry of the world. The photos becomes a mirror, reflecting back to women their significance, validating their roles, and affirming the profound impact they make in both family and professional spheres.
I am capturing women’s stories of their business what they are creating, why and how. I find these women fascinating and they amaze me and I have so much energy around wanting to celebrate and capture how they spend their time in their business, the celebrations, the trials, how they are making money to keep the business alive and sustainable. Women in business are examples for everyone, when a woman is showing up every single day to provide for herself, her family and community that changes the world. Women trusting in themselves, knowing they are capable, resourceful, creating services and products to bring money into the bank is empowering for all.
I have created Women in business documentary photo sessions ( 2 or 4 hours) and content creation sessions ( these will be so fun - I go for 1 hour each month - minimum 3 months and capture the story of the women and what she is creating in her business.)
I am excited for 2024.
